21st Century African Youth Movement

Twenty First Century African Youth Movement (AYM) is a youth-focused social entrepreneurship and capacity development charitable organization. Founded in 1992, AYM as a global initiative endeavors to improve the lives of millions of youths in Africa by creating job opportunities for them and imparting in them employable skills.

AYM puts youths on the path to self-sufficiency, economic productivity, while fostering community resilience. We engage youth as social change makers and a positive force in the rebuilding and development of war-torn Sierra Leone and throughout Africa. We are currently working in the Jong Chiefdom, Bonthe District partnering with youth to build progressive local community-driven programs including vegetable gardens, solar powered electricity, ecotourism, volunteerism and more.
